The range of an int data type is -2,147,483,648 to 2,147,483,647. Smallint represents an integer value that can be stored in 2 bytes. 2^(n-1) is the formula to find the maximum of a Smallint data type. In the preceding formula N is the size of the data type. The ^ operator calculates the power of the value.
Integer constants greater than 2,147,483,647 are converted to the decimal data type, not the bigint data type. The following example shows that when the threshold value is exceeded, the data type of the result changes from an int to a decimal. Here is the result set.
